    This is Serpent 52 playing one YouTube tab without VORAPIS. Will take me a little while to get the profile up-and-running with VORAPIS for a comparison. Again, I am skeptic and admit that fully right up front. But I am also a no gut feelings sort of guy and FOLLOW THE NUMBERS. Let's see what those NUMBERS tell us.

    Thanks, just downloaded. I fully disclose and admit right up front that I am SKEPTIC that this VORAPIS script is really worth the hassle. But I won't mind being proven wrong, lol. Just upgraded my bare-bones Serpent 52 to the latest-and-greatest. I am still using x86 Serpent 52 on an x64 machine, which I have recently discovered is not exactly ideal.

    I may dig deeper tomorrow. I do admit that I have not (yet?) tried vorapis. edit - I kind of have no use to YouTube (or any type of audio/video streaming) in UXP or even modern Mozilla. But yeah, I suppose vorapis "might" change that. Can't claim to have read enough here to make me see it as a godsend. I guess I'd have to try it for myself to really witness any benefits (or non-benefits).

    I'm assuming that you tested in Serpent 52 also? Or just in New Moon?

    Under what combination of added extensions/scripts? My bare-bones Serpent 52 (only mod is replacing the "dragon" icon) *works* as far as YouTube search box suggestions. Though my Serpent 52 is intentionally stuck at 2023-07-31. I cite this in case THAT may be the issue, that newer versions of Serpent 52 may have accidentally broken YouTube search box suggestions.

    I intentionally block the suggestions via uMatrix. Are you blocking "suggestqueries-clients6.youtube.com" or similar? Perhaps at a non-browser DNS or router level?

    What is this?

    The real irony to me is that I have *never*, literally *NEVER* used YouTube in my ENTIRE LIFE. *UNTIL* I became an MSFN member and everybody, and I do mean *everybody*, is constantly citing YT (first time I saw that, it took SEVERAL second to realize that YT = YouTube).

    You should ditch vp9 and use avc1/mp4 instead. That's what most "lite" websites do that play YouTube videos but through "their own" web site as a "frontend". And that's what most extensions that claim to boost YouTube performance do, disable vp9 and only allow avc1.

    Can you show us the "stats for nerds" window? ie, this:

    Um... Because Chromium-based doesn't have the same "issues" with YouTube playback that plagues Mozilla-based on YouTube. Which is another way of saying "supply and demand, there is no demand and therefore no supply".

    <OT> That's another "feature" I use Proxomitron for, I can access a "modern" page that fetches 3rd-party content but I can redirect that 3rd-party content to a localized archive (css, js, etc). ie, that 3rd-party can do whatever they want, they cannot change what is in my localized archive. </OT>

    I have recently acquired another freebie (the advantage of being the neighborhood Mr. Fix-It). I haven't even opened it up yet to know the specs. Toshiba Satellite L-something. 15.6" laptop. i5, I think. Age would suggest DDR3. I may end up installing Linux (or Win2k) on the Acer Aspire One POS but will wait until this new freebie gets a "nosed, decked, and shaved" Win10 install. Graphics is not a concern. For one, I am not a "gamer". And for two, the rest of MSFN would grow tiresome if I kept showing up to discuss "brightness" changes every other week.

    I've never had any issues with Speedometer as a quantifiable measurement. Though scores cannot be compared directly between two people on different machines. More of a test for one computer relative to the same exact computer. But as far as comparing "my" computer/browser to "your" computer/browser, Speedometer does give the same best-to-worst even if the scores differ. I've been away from Official Pale Moon for a few years but seem to recall Speedometer would even indicate a score difference when a laptop web browser was testing while running on battery versus running when plugged in.

    Your problem is XUL. And no, a new computer will not fix that underlying issue. Why do you feel you "need" XUL? Sure, I "miss it" but I never really "needed" it, per se.

    It is working for me in Ungoogled v122. Yandex is doing the same thing in Supermium and newer Edge that one of my finance site is doing. I can access in v122, v123, and v124. But cannot access in v114, v119, v121, v125, and v128. Just spot-checked various versions. I was never able to track down why these *THREE* (v122, v123, and v124) and *ONLY* these three versions *WORKS*.

    No clue what "yellow tile". The cited font brightness earlier in the discussion was the "Saxon" text. I'm not going to jump through this hoop for every enquiry. As I and others have pointed out, there is no difference in HTML CODE between Wayback and current. The issue is "your" DARK MODE. If it causes such a "problem" for you, THEN STOP USING IT.
  19. NotHereToPlayGames
    The HTML CODE for the Saxon text is IDENTICAL between both!

    The web.archive link is correct if you copy-paste into address bar instead of clicking it.

    I agree. These "dark mode" users always always always cite color renderings in their WEB BROWSER. Not their file manager. Not their text editor. Not their email client. Not their CAD software. Not their finance software that isn't web-related. Not their office suites, be it MS Office, Google Workspace, WordPerfect, SoftMaker, LibreOffice, FreeOffice, WPS Office, OfficeSuite, Calligra, Polaris, OnlyOffice, Zoho, et cetera. ALWAYS THEIR WEB BROWSER. edit -- I do seem to recall that a MEDIA PLAYER was once cited in one of these "brightness on dark mode" reports.
  23. NotHereToPlayGames
    Have these "dark mode" users bothered to EXPERIMENT with the FORMULA used for that MATH? There is a chrome/supermium/thorium FLAG where you can define what type of MATH is used. I would suspect that firefox/basilisk/serpent/pale-moon/new-moon have something similar.
  24. NotHereToPlayGames
    I still think that the common denominator is "dark mode" and the math that is involved to take the original color, run math on it, and generate the color that renders in "dark mode". I really think we are looking at a "rounding error". I urge those that see this "brightness" issue to SCREENCAP the HTML CODE (not the "picture", but the HTML CODE) so that we have a BEFORE and AFTER when and if this "brightness" changes again.

    I would need to check a few things from home. Unsure if it is Windows Update Blocker that I use or not. I think I have a way solely via .bat file. But Windows Firewall and Base Filtering Engine services should also both be disabled to prevent Windows Update from turning itself back on. There is also a Windows Update "task" set in Computer Management >> System Tools >> Task Scheduler >> Task Scheduler Library >> Microsoft >> Windows >> WindowsUpdate that should also be disabled.
